    Oh I imagine that he'll open letters with it, perhaps arts and crafts?

    I still hope that your imagination has served you equally well in the past.

    The references above date from 1824/25. "la Haye" means the Netherlands - Holland. So the same family as T. F. Bastet, presumably. Earlier razors were just marked 'Bastet'.

    That is a very good option indeed, it found his name a time ago, but I've got stuck on the fact that he mostly produced chirurgical instruments, could it possibly be that it is an instrument? It would be fantastic to see resembling pictures... This is the only other picture one I've googled, without info...

    I picked this up years ago in a pair of clear horn scales that simply crumbled to the touch. Looks old, but it's about half-hollow. Possibly re-ground. Someday I'll get some appropriate scales, hone this old girl up.....and.... shave my cat?

    Yes, I agree!

    If it's named "Bastet" it must be for cats.
    What scares me though is a razor I've got here named "Lorena"...

    John and Lorena Bobbitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I would love to have a "Bastet" instead!
